Straight from the vault the 2025 edition of my annual drum'n'bass vinyl only set is here! 
And this time it's an extended 2.5h journey for the trippy-minded heads out there. 

Like always I want to showcase my taste and my roots, the more underrated side of the genre including lots of forgotten gems and b-sides, that people rarely refer to when they talk about the 'golden years' nowadays. Drum'n'Bass mixes need to be unpredictable, challenging, rough, raw and grimey. I usually like them to dissolve in excess.

Drum'n'Bass Vinyl Only Set 04/2025

"When Dawn Breaks" is a testament to RIFT's potential and a promising addition to the drum and bass landscape. Its fusion of funk influences with the cold roller style offers a refreshing take on the genre. As RIFT continues to refine his sound, tracks like this position him as an artist to watch in the coming years.

Rift // When Dawn Breaks // LTDC4C042 // OUT NOW!

"Sun Skin" opens with a deep, rolling bassline that sets a moody yet groovy foundation. The track gradually introduces layers of crisp percussion and subtle melodic elements, creating a sense of anticipation. As it progresses, RIFT masterfully incorporates his funk elements into this unique groove.

My entry for the CAUSE4CONCERN x MIGUEL DNB - DJ CONTEST. 
Mixed on 2xCDJ1000 + turntable. I'll call this one City17.

The names of Ed Rush & Optical, CZA, Ogonek, COOH, Audio, Optiv & BTK bring me back to the beginning of my conscious unconsciousness. The contest made me, naturally, dug deep into the old school, techstep sounds of drum and bass and remembered me where my low-frequency journey started.
Thank you all for the music!

1.	Ed Rush & Optical – City 17
2.	Cause4Concern – Age of terror ( vinyl )
3.	BTK & Optiv – Haywire

Dropping today via C4C Recordings, HLZ delivers his reimagined remix of a Cause4Concern classic. Retaining the raw energy of the original, HLZ injects the quality back into this hypnic slice of funk.

It's a deep, tech-driven rework that pays homage to C4C’s legacy while pushing the sound forward. A must-spin for any serious drum & bass selector.

Artist: Cause4Concern
Release: Phatcap (TRCD Remix)
Label: C4C Recordings
Cat#: C4CDIGUK088
Support: https://cygnusmusic.link/8wznqrz

Originally dropping back in 1999 on C4C Recordings, “Phatcap” has long been a staple of the neuro-heavy DnB scene. Now, TRCD injects the timeless drum loops and iconic bassline with a modern twist, honoring the original's spirit while giving it a fresh energy.

TRCD begins by resurrecting the rolling, punchy kick/snare combo that defined the original. From there, he refines the groove with crisp, meticulously layered hi-hats and sub-divided ghost snares. The result is a relentless, dancefloor-ready rhythm that jolts the track into 2025 territory.

That unmistakable sub-bass from the original remains intact—but TRCD enhances it with more punch and depth. Subsonic rumble underpins the rework, and occasional mid-range growls slide in, adding weight to the restructuring’s low-end.

I’ve complained in the past about modern music needing a jolt of innovation without coming off as pretentious. Phidippus seems to epitomize the desire to make great music while refusing to keep to one specific formula, making his trajectory as an artist fascinating to watch. I find Phidippus to be an immensely underappreciated musician who just needs one big hit to make his name reverberate throughout the densely packed world of electronica, and I hope that that day comes sooner rather than later.
